April 4 – Judges 13-15

Below are my thoughts from the daily
Bible reading of the West Side Church of Christ. Today’s reading comes from Judges
13-15. Before reading I invite you to pray and asked God to speak to you as you
read his word.

Have you ever sought something from God
and when he responded you didn’t feel it was a complete revelation? This is
exactly how Manoah and his wife felt when an angel of the Lord appeared to her
to tell them that they would finally have a child … if an angel appears to you
don’t be surprised you might just become pregnant, it seems like so many times
this is the reason for angelic appearances – Abraham and Sarah, Zachariah and
Elizabeth, Joseph and Mary.

But the revelation to them was not
complete and clear in their eyes, so they went back to God and asked for
further instruction. How often do you do this? How often do you seek clarity
from God? We often hear the beginning of what God has to say but fail to hear
the complete story. Seek follow through. Seek clarity. Seek whole thoughts. It
might surprise you of how clear God wants to speak with you.

At West Side we are beginning a new
prayer partner campaign. We are asking people to join with us in praying daily
